Shukla seem to receive much disdain from ultra nationalists. My posts (images and map) were from his blog.

In a land filled with liars and bandits, the joker is more credible.

If they tried to do that, they may have to accept the possibility of getting nuked in return. Although, whether the USA would have the money nor the man power to start a full scale fight (like that of Iraq and Libya) when they have an election crisis right now is very much up in the air. It is almost certain that a crisis is going to hamper the US for a long period of time especially when the poor are going to riot like never before and the pandemic is far from over and if India tries to fight China by itself when they have so many issues that Modi isn't trying to handle right now, they will clearly lose. If India tries to fight China, then Pakistan and Iran might just try to free Kashmir by force and even take parts of India while India is distracted. Admittedly China would have far more problems if the US economy and national moral is at the same level as that of 9/11 and having world wide support, but given the current situation that India and the USA are in economically and health wise, it is less of a well planned conflict and more of a desperate ploy to distract the masses from all the problems that are about to explode in there collective faces.
Realistically.
Ahem.

These aren't realistic scenarios. If we answer the question - as to what does an acceptable solution look like for India - the whole Ladakh incident could be monitored better, understood and we could even make some good guesses as to how it might evolve.

My 2 cent says that India would try to posture aggressively to ensure that China buckles and a new buffer is created (which isn't very different from the past one but different enough to be shown as a political win at home).

And india is going to that exactly.....................................how?

They are going to use their almost 30% contracted economic "muscle"? Or are they going to use their 15 day worth (including practice session) of ammunition?

Lets wait till the next 3 months to end to see what will happen but given India's lack of performance where it truly matters, things are not going to be very promising for India in the future and any dreams of India becoming a supper power is going to go the way of there WION channel, full of bullshit with no substance

Many foreign news media reporting Indian soldier died in the clash on August 29/30. Some how the Indian news media is very quiet about it.

I did try looking for this in hindustan times and times of india, there isn't as much coverage as I would expect, and almost nothing about special forces... its strange, and for some reason official media doesn't seem to want to promote coverage of this at all. they now keep saying china has NOT engaged...

here is something about indian army personnel being killed by Pakistani troops in the news today, which is the only mention of any deaths from the indian side today. India may be afraid of a two-front action, and its soldiers being sent to the front might not just be against the PLA but also PAF.

If Pakistan can be brought into the fold in the escalation, it could also give pause to western involvement since it would essentially be a coalition of countries against India. Optically, it also helps that a major muslim power is supporting china with all the crap people are saying about Xinjiang anyways.
